Alarm system
The sensitivity of the alarm system is independent of its positioning and orientation. If activated, the
alarm system will flash all turn indicators when the main switch is deactivated. The vehicle’s
relative position and orientation will be recorded and stored and the alarm system engaged. The
alarm is triggered when the orientation of the vehicle is changed on it’s X, Y or Z axis (e. g. when
the vehicle is raised from it’s kickstand). Depending on the pre-set sensitivity, the alarm will also be
triggered in case of lighter shocks or agitation resp. Depending on the chosen setup, the alarm
system will trigger a pre-alarm and will only activate the alarm when the system is triggered again
in a ten-second time frame.
If the vehicle is transported (e. g. by ferry, trailer or tow-truck) the alarm system can be deactivated
non-recurring by pressing the horn button while switching disengaging the main switch.
If implemented within cars or sidecars, we recommend the highest sensitivity setting (option F).
Keyless Go
The pairing of m.unit and smart phone is a prerequisite of this feature. In the m.ride application, the
feature can be activated / deactivated under „Garage/Fahrzeug_xy/Sicherheit/Keyless-
Go/aktivieren“ (garage/vehicle_xy/safety/Keyless-Go/activate).
With active feature, the bike will be unlocked with a smart phone distance of less than approx. 4m.
Pressing the start push button will switch on ignition, pressing it again will start the engine. Double-
clicking the button will shut off the running engine, another double-click will shut off the ignition.
When walking away from vehicle, the vehicle will be locked and the alarm system is activated
(provided that it is enabled in setup menu).
Please make sure to carry the ignition key on you, so you can start the vehicle even without
a smart phone.
Speedometer sensor
A speedometer sensor is required for matching the vehicle odometer with the m.garage app. In
case the vehicle is equipped with speedometer sensor, connect the sensor signal cable to AUX2
input, and in setup menu 11, select option A.
In case the speedometer sensor is equipped with two connection cables, connect the ground cable
to vehicle ground connection and the second cable to AUX2 input.
If no speedometer sensor is equipped, please use the provided reed sensor.
For signal detection, mount one of the provided magnets with glue to one wheel. In this case, the
distance from magnet to wheel axle is irrelevant. Mount the speedometer sensor with a retaining
plate in a way, that the surfaces of magnet and sensor tip are parallelly aligned with a 1mm gap.
The reed sensor tip shall not be flush with the bracket; make sure, it is protruding from the bracket
by approx. 5mm. The bracket may not be made from magnetizable materials (iron, steel etc.), but
shall be made from aluminium, stainless steel or plastics. When driving under load, the distance
between magnet and sensor may not vary! When rotating the wheel, no magnetizable material
(e.g. a steel-made bolt) may pass the sensor tip.
The maximum tightening torque for the sensor mounting nuts is 1 Nm. Please use thread lock
(medium strength) for mounting. Connect the sensor cable to vehicle ground and the second cable
to AUX2 input.
The vehicle speedometer signal is automatically calibrated. Therefore it is required, that the app is
allowed to access the GPS receiver of your smart phone.
